Miragaia – a place of stories and legends – SMT6 (Miragaia)

Miragaia is one of the disctricts that makes part of the so called historical centre. It´s a land of magic legends and a place deep connected with the Douro River, with the naval construction so in each step you find stories, legends, places related with such ancient relation and identity

find more about:

What´s Porto patron saint (and perhaps it´s actually not S.João), where´s Rua dos Banhos or Rua do Ouro – that actually are no longer there any more, the “bloody” legend of “Gaia”, where was the jewish cemitery, what´s the “Bandeirinha da Saúde”, the dolphin that looks like … anything but a dolphin, among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.

Porto Traditional Trade – SMT TT

Porto is, since its very beginning, known as a city of trade and of traders. Its universe of traditional shops is very rich and unique, in spite of the fact that many of these unic places have been closing specially due to the city gentrification. This tour goes trought a relevant circuit where it´s possible to see some excellent examples of this traditional trade and Porto identity.

Find more about:

What´s a “colonial” grossery shop. The importance of Bolhão Market. What are the areas with still more traditional shops among many other relevant aspects of Porto and Portugal history, culture, society and ecology.
